Hoshizaki is trusted by commercial kitchens across Australia for reliable, high-performance equipment.
The Hoshizaki HLF20 Water Filter Kit (Model 87000105) is an essential high-capacity filtration system designed to protect and enhance the performance of your commercial ice machine. Specifically engineered for Hoshizaki ice makers producing between 80kg and 250kg of ice daily, this system ensures a consistent supply of clean, clear, and odour-free ice. Key benefits include significantly extending the lifespan of your ice machine by reducing scale build-up and sediment, improving ice quality for superior beverage presentation, and minimising costly maintenance and downtime.
Built with durability and efficiency in mind, the Hoshizaki HLF20 Water Filter Kit features a robust stainless steel housing and a high-capacity 450mm cartridge. This system is engineered to effectively reduce sediment, chlorine, unpleasant tastes, and odours from your water supply, while also incorporating scale inhibition technology. The result is a consistent flow of purified water, critical for optimal ice machine operation and the production of premium-quality ice, even in demanding commercial environments. Its design ensures reliable performance and easy cartridge replacement.
The Hoshizaki HLF20 Water Filter Kit is designed and constructed with food-safe materials, ensuring compliance with general Australian food safety standards. It is RCM compliant for electrical safety where applicable, though this is a passive filtration system. This system is ideal for a wide range of commercial applications across Australia, including restaurants, cafes, hotels, bars, catering operations, clubs, and any commercial kitchen environment utilising Hoshizaki ice machines within the 80kg to 250kg daily production range.
While the Hoshizaki HLF20 Water Filter Kit itself does not consume energy, its impact on your ice machine's operational efficiency is significant. By preventing scale build-up and sediment damage, it directly reduces the need for costly maintenance and repairs, extending the lifespan of your valuable ice machine. A typical commercial ice machine repair can range from AUD 300 to over AUD 1000. Investing AUD 288 in the HLF20 can prevent multiple such expenses. Simple payback can be realised within months by avoiding just one service call, ensuring consistent ice production and significantly reducing total cost of ownership.
Water filtration is crucial for ice machines as it protects internal components from scale build-up, sediment, and chlorine damage, which can lead to costly repairs and reduced efficiency. It also ensures the production of high-quality, clear, and taste-free ice.
It is generally recommended to replace the HLF20 filter cartridge every 6 to 12 months, depending on water quality and usage volume. Monitoring ice quality and water flow can also indicate when a replacement is due.
While primarily designed and optimised for Hoshizaki ice machines, the HLF20 system can potentially be adapted for other commercial ice makers. However, for guaranteed performance and warranty considerations, it is best suited for Hoshizaki units. Consult with a KW Commercial Kitchen specialist for compatibility with other brands.
The Hoshizaki HLF20 filter is designed to reduce sediment, chlorine, unpleasant tastes, and odours. It also incorporates scale inhibition technology to prevent mineral deposits from forming on critical ice machine components.
Using a Hoshizaki specific filter like the HLF20 ensures optimal compatibility and performance with your Hoshizaki ice machine. It's engineered to meet the precise water quality requirements for Hoshizaki units, maintaining warranty validity, and delivering superior ice quality and machine longevity compared to generic alternatives.
